Col A: a^2 + b^2 + c^2

Answers and Explanations
1. 51. Since the question asks for both divisible by 2 and 3. We need to find the numbers divisible by 6. Now 402 is the first number in the range that is divisible by 6. Starting from 402 there are 17 numbers in the range 400 to 500 divisible by 6. 17 again in 500 to 600 as well as 600 to 700. So the answer is 17*3= 51
2. Relationship cannot be determined. take x and y 0 and take x and y -1 and test.
3. Col B is greater. because the first term is Pn is multiplied by 24 so it will give remainder 0 when divided by 6 but the +8 in the end will give remainder 2.
However P66 = 24^66 + 8*24^65 + 8*24^64 + .... + 8*24 + 8
4. I think the answer is Col B is greater. its given that 1pen & 1stapler costs $12.50 which means 2pen & 2stapler costs $25. But its also given that 3pens & 2staplers costs $25. his is only possible when pens are given for free i.e. zero cost.
5. Radius of the circle cannon be found just from the center
6. Col A and Col B are equal
7. based on the given options the answer is A. As 5/6 is .83 and B and D are not feasible as complex number is not in GRE syllabus.
8. Both Cols are equal.
2. Col A: x^2 + y^2
Col B: (x + 1)^2 * (y + 1)^2
3. Given a series p1, p2, p3, p4................ If p1 = 1 & pn = 24*p(n-1)+8, then
Col A: The remainder when p66 is divided by 6
Col B: 4
(Here 1, 2, 3, 4, 66, n & n-1 are suffixes)
4. If 1pen & 1stapler costs 12.50$ and 3pens & 2staplers costs 25$, then

5. Given a circle in the coordinate system with centre at (3, 4), find the radius of the circle?

1. The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were mad; possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten.
Argument Topic:
1. The following appeared in an editorial in the Mason City newspaper.
"At present, Mason City residents seldom use the nearby Mason River for any kind of recreational activity, even though surveys of the region's residents consistently rank water sports (swimming, fishing, and boating) as a favorite form of recreation. Since there have been complaints about the quality of the water in the river, residents must be avoiding the river because they think that it is not clean enough. But that situation is about to change: the agency responsible for rivers in our region has announced plans to clean up Mason River. Therefore, recreational use of the river is likely to increase, so the Mason City council will need to increase its budget for improvements to the publicly owned lands along the Mason River."

8.
Col A: a^2 + b^2 + c^2
Col B: f^2
Answers and Explanations
1. 51. Since the question asks for both divisible by 2 and 3. We need to find the numbers divisible by 6. Now 402 is the first number in the range that is divisible by 6. Starting from 402 there are 17 numbers in the range 400 to 500 divisible by 6. 17 again in 500 to 600 as well as 600 to 700. So the answer is 17*3= 51
2. Relationship cannot be determined. take x and y 0 and take x and y -1 and test.
3. Col B is greater. because the first term is Pn is multiplied by 24 so it will give remainder 0 when divided by 6 but the +8 in the end will give remainder 2.
However P66 = 24^66 + 8*24^65 + 8*24^64 + .... + 8*24 + 8
4. I think the answer is Col B is greater. its given that 1pen & 1stapler costs $12.50 which means 2pen & 2stapler costs $25. But its also given that 3pens & 2staplers costs $25. his is only possible when pens are given for free i.e. zero cost.
5. Radius of the circle cannon be found just from the center
6. Col A and Col B are equal
7. based on the given options the answer is A. As 5/6 is .83 and B and D are not feasible as complex number is not in GRE syllabus.
8. Both Cols are equal.
2. Col A: x^2 + y^2

5. Given a circle in the coordinate system with centre at (3, 4), find the radius of the circle?
6. Given average of a & b as 10. When 'c' is added to a & b, then the average is 10(again).
Col A: Value of 'c'

7. If -1 < x < 0, then which of the following will have greater value?
A.0.8x
B. 1/sqrt(x)
C. (5x)/6
D. sqrt(x)

1. The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.
"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 duing the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."
